Royce Gracie following the gracie diet, but taking steriods before the K-1 show in California. I just smell bullshit. This latest move shows Grarcia has a personal issue with Diaz, should the CSAC have this preemptive power ?

I am just rubbed the wrong way by the way Diaz is tying to defend this and feel that, at the same time, there are a lot more things going on here than we know about right now. Also I have such a low opinion of the CSAC and think there needs to be a shake up there quick fast and in a hurry, but this isn't the issue to try and fight them on.

I dont like to take medications that speed you up like ritalin. It fucks with you emotionally. Either way Marijuana doesn't make you a better fighter. I say they legalize it and that would get people out of prison and gather alot of tax money! Ranger it’s not for everyone. I dont like to take medications that speed you up like ritalin.

I want to be clear that I am in no way shape or form calling you a lair or questioning it worked for you. If you say it did I have no reason to disbelieve you.

When I was diagnoised they wanted to put me on Aderall or Welbutrin depending on the Dr. I also don't have the same diagnosis as you. That said if you said it helped you out, I'll take your word for it. But I've not read anything from a credible source and watching Nick try and explain it in the clip pissed me off. After reading Sam's latest post I'm inclined to agree with him that we're not getting this whole story right now. I'm sure there will be more to follow on this. Derek B.

Please. If I have a perscription for something that isn't going to effectively treat the illness why the hell have the perscription? He couldn't even explain it correctly in that press conference he's talking about carcinogens which have nothing to do with his head. carcinogens are the negaitve effects of smoke anything. So, again, you need this why Nick? Oh that's right you like to smoke weed and roll cause you think it helps you train grappling. You're a liar, next. Furthermore, if he "planned to test clean" that means he'd quit using it to treat his illness at least a month out form the fight. So if he's off his "meds" and he can function, why take it in the first place? That said I agree that CSAC is corrupt as hell and completely and totally screwed up. but this isn't the issue to fight them on. I appreciate Gary Shaw's position from a business stand point and if I was him I'd be pissed off too. Finally I could really give a rats ass if Diaz smokes pot or not. I could care less if anyone on the planet does it. That means jack and shit to me. But, Nick, don't lie your ass off and talk about ineffective treatment of a controversial disease and think that we're so dumb as to nod along with you like were stoned as you whine out your sob story.

It seems like a very poorly run organization. That being said I do worry a little bit for EliteXC with Gary Shaw's comments. While I tend to side with Shaw I wouldn't have publically went after Armando Garcia like that. I disagree with many things he has done(Garcia and the CSAC) they/he are in charge and if you want a continual working relationship with them I wouldn't be going about things like this because I don't see Shaw's comments changing anything.
